Winner Glidden Tour 



DEFEATING 63 other contestants, 
breaking all previous efficiency re- 
cords, winning every trophy and prize 
money in its division, the Maxwell 
team, composed of three Maxwell touring cars, 
won last year's Glidden Tour, the largest event 
in the history of motor car contests, as the only 
team to travel over 1,454 miles of America's 
worst roads from New York to Jacksonville, 
Florida, with an absolutely perfect score. 

Four Maxv^ells maintained 100%^ efficiency 
from start to finish. Maxwell has twice main- 
tained the highest team efficiency in the 
Glidden Tour. 



Maxwell won the Team prize 

THE GUDDEN TROPHY 

Maxwell won the Individual prize 

THE ANDERSON TROPHY 

Maxwell won the Division Team 
cash Prize 

There were no other prizes to win 

As the winner of the Glidden Tour, Maxwell 
was crowned the American Touring Champion 
by the American Automobile Association. 
Maxwell cars had the best team score the pre- 
vious year also, and in 1 906 won the Deming 
Trophy. We believe that grilling endurance 
tests conclusively establish motor car efficiency, 
because the car is tested in the same manner 
that the owner will use it.

NEWARK, N. J., ranking eleventh in manufactures and 
sixteenth in population in the United States, is located on 
Newark Bay and the Passaic River, eight miles west of New 
York. It is a great manufacturing center, with 1,800 plants, 
employing 75,000 workers, and finished products annually ag- 
gregating $210,000,000 in value. It has a population of 350,000 
within a built-up area of sixteen square miles, while the 
population of its immediate suburbs, within an area equal to 
that of Buffalo, if added, would make a total of 600,000. The 
magnitude of its commercial interests is reflected in its bank 
clearings, which exceed $600,000,000 yearly. 

Its municipal government is keeping pace with the prog- 
ress in industry and trade, in promoting internal improve- 
ments, in its municipal buildings and public works. It is 
having a most remarkable growth, having added 125,000 popu- 
lation during the past decade, its municipal valuations having 
increased from $148,834,805 in 1900 to $344,821,700 in 1910, an 
increase equal to a four per cent investment on Five Thou- 
sand Millions of Dollars. Its water supply, with a capacity of 
50,000,000 gallons daily, also with a reservoir storage capacity 
of ten million gallons, is delivered by gravity, and is used 
as an auxiliary force for fire fighting purposes, in addition to 
supplying a pure supply for potable and other uses. 

Newark is claimed to have a greater area of park lands 
and park reservations per square mile to its area than any 
other city in the country, and the city is laid out with broad 
avenues that are well paved and well kept. In and about its 
suburban sections, with the Orange Mountains as a back- 
ground, are scenes of natural beauty with vistas of the entire 
Passaic Valley looking out to the ocean, including in the view 
the Valley of the Hackensack, and the greater Metropolis on 
the Hudson. 

ELIZABETH, N. J., is rich in historical associations. Still 
standing are at least forty houses, built prior to the Revolu- 
tionary War, among which is the old parsonage on Pearl St., 
in which the Rev. Jonathan Dickenson established Princeton 
University. Among those resting in the graveyard of the 
First Presbyterian Church are many soldiers of the Revolu- 
tionary War, a number of whom were members of Washing- 
ton's staff. 

One of the most beautiful specimens of the fourteen+h 
century Gothic architecture is St. John's Episcopal Church. 
The tower of this Church is said to be the most beautiful of 
its kind in America. Still standing is the home, said to have 
been built in 1763, for many years occupied by Lieutenant 
General Winfield Scott. 

The North Broad St. section of the city is one of the 
most attractive and healthful residential sections in the Metro- 
politan district. The lower — or "Port" section — is devoted to 
manufacturing, for which it is peculiarly adapted by reason 
of unexcelled railroad facilities and its location on Staten 
Island Sound. Elizabeth contains the main manufacturing 
plant of the Singer Manufacturing Company, with an area of 
seventy-two acres, and over 8,000 employees. 

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Is an old city, chartered in 
1832, situated at the head of navigation on the Raritan River, 
and the location of Rutgers College. It is a thriving manu- 
facturing city, in the heart of the beautiful Raritan Valley. 
It is a residential city and has many manufacturers, who 
take advantage of having rail and water facilities close to 
New York. 



MEMORANDUM 



TRENTON, N. J., is the largest city in the East operating 
under Commission Government, occupying a $1,000,000 Munici- 
pal Building just completed (seen on the left immediately 
after crossing the canal). It is the pottery and tile center of 
the United States, with 48 plants — yearly output about $10,- 
000,000. Also a prominent linoleum and rubber center, with 
two large plants, yearly output about $10,000,000. 

Points of interest: The Barracks, on East Front St., in 
which the Hessian Troops were housed during the Revolu- 
tionary War; Washington Monument, occupying the site of 
the Battle of Trenton, the turning point of the American Revo- 
lution, and St. Michael's Episcopal Church, on N. Warren 
St., where the British troops were quartered during the Revo- 
lutionary War.

and the Bluemont line of the Southern Railway and the ter- 
minus of the Washington and Virginia Electric Railroad from 
Washington to Fairfax. Is a town of much Interest and prom-

well, over which hangs the "old oaken bucket." with the 
tradition that "He who drinks therefrom will return again."

commemorating the fact that In the nearby open was killed 
the first soldier of the Civil War. A short distance to the 
west of these, and on one of the principal thoroughfares of 
the town, is the Gunnell >House (now the rectory), where, 
in the mid hour of night, the Intrepid Mosby captured the 
dashing young General Stoughton, while on the hills and in 
the valleys thereabouts can be found many evidences of 
the great conflict of the early sixties.

with well paved streets, a national bank, a good hotel, ex- 
cellent general stores and a well equipped drug store, a pros- 
perous newspaper, four churches and several lodges. The 
farming land around Fairfax is excellent, and there is no

larger monetary value than any other city in 
Virginia of approximately the same population. 

Lynchburg is a city of churches and relig- 
ious institutions, and the church property 
reaches a sum considerably over a million and 
a quarter dollars, which is unusual for a city 
of this size. Building operations in Lynchburg

ness for 191 1 was $48,000,000. Lynchburg is 
the center of the dark tobacco belt and is 
also immediately contiguous to an unusually

LEXINGTON, N. C, is a town of more than 6,000 inhabi- 
tants, situated in the center of the great Piedmont section, in 
the midst of the famous cotton and furniture manufacturing 
district, and the junction and distributing point of the two 
greatest railway systems of the South. 

Lexington has thirty-eight factories, making furniture, 
chairs, cotton goods, mattresses, machinery, building supplies, 
clothing, wagons, factory equipment, mirrors, etc. Some idea 
of the town's growth may be obtained when it is noted that 
in 1900 the population was 1,234, and there were but five 
factories of all kinds. 

There are two strong clubs, both ready at all times to 
welcome visitors — the Iroquois Club and the Elks' Club.

SALISBURY, N. C, is midway between Washington and 
Atlanta, midway between New York and Jacksonville and 
is midway between several other points on the Seminole Trail. 
Salisbury has two good hotels and at this time a new hun- 
dred thousand dollar one is being built. 

Some points of interest are: The National Cemetery, 
a place of beauty and with a long history; the granite quar- 
ries, where the highest grade pink and gray granite in 
America is to be found; the Spencer shops, the largest rail- 
road shops in the South; the Whitney power development, 
about thirty miles out, where fifteen million dollars are 
being spent in one of the biggest developments in the coun- 
try; one of the finest truck farming sections in the whole 
South. There are still other attractions that will be worth 
while for the tourist to slow up long enough to see.

CHARLOTTE, N. C. 




European Plan 
Modern and Luxurious 



The Ideal Stopping Place for the Automobile 
Tourist. 

EDGAR B. MOORE, Prop. 



CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, is located on the 
"National Highway," and has many attractions for automo- 
bile tourists. It marks the point where the Savannah-Char- 
lotte through route connects with the National Highway. 
"The City of Electrical Energy" is the name given to it by 
many. During the past decade the population of this place 
increased 88 per cent., and the impetus which it has gathered 
will in time make of it a large city, because of its many nat- 
ural advantages. It is now the center of cotton mill develop- 
ment in the South. 

Tourists delight to stop here and enjoy the comforts of 
the good hotels, Country Club and other clubs; the conven- 
ience of the up-to-date garage, to ride over the smooth stone 
roads of Mecklenburg County, and incidentally to look up the 
many points of historical interest in the vicinity; for this was 
the seat of considerable activity during Revolutionary times, 
when Lord Cornwallis invaded the Carolinas. Many are in- 
terested in the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.

CAMDEN, S. C, founded in 1758, is the county seat of 
Kershaw County. It is a winter resort of increasing popu- 
larity, it has three large tourist hotels, two commercial hotels 
and many nice boarding houses. It is noted for its parks, its 
fine streets, its beautiful gardens and its fine old residences, 
among which are "The Terraces," the home of U. S. Gen. 
Stephen D. Miller; "Mulberry," home of the Chestnut fam- 
ily; "Sarsfield," of Gen. James Chestnut, U. S. and C. S. A. 
Senator; that of Maj. Gen. J. B. Kershaw, C. S. A. Six Con- 
federate generals were born in the city and nearby is the 
birthplace of Richard Kirkland, a Confederate hero at the 
battle of Fredericksburg. The principal monuments In the 
city are the Confederate Soldiers' Monument and the Kirk- 
land Monument, both erected by the school children; the 
DeKalb Monument and that erected to the memory of Col. 
Dickinson, of the "Palmetto Regiment," who was killed in 
Mexico, and the Confederate Monument at Broad and Laur- 
ens Streets. 

Near the city are the battlefields of Camden (August 
16th, 1780), where Gates and Cornwallis opposed each other 
and where Baron DeKalb was killed, and that of Hobkirk 
Hill, between Greene and Rawdon (April 26th, 1781). Many 
of the original redoubts and fortifications may still be seen. 
The large Indian mound on the Wateree River is worth a 
visit. Near the Court Inn is the house in which Wash- 
ington was entertained in 1793. The court house (built In 
1822) is of classic design. One of the romantic spots is 
the grave of "Agnes of Glasgow," who was shrouded In 
mystery. Camden has three prosperous banks, one of the 
largest cotton seed oil mills in the State, two large cotton 
cloth mills and brick factory and many other smaller in- 
dustries.

COLUMBIA 



G.W.A. 



Columbia, S. C. 



COLUMBIA is the capital of South Carolina, and is, there- 
fore, Its social and legislative center. Columbia has a popula- 
tion within the corporate limits, embracing only four square 
miles, of 26,319, and with the suburbs a population of about 
45,000. All of these suburbs are connected with the city by 
electric car lines, with a schedule both ways of seven and one- 
half minutes. 

Columbia is the geographical and railroad center of the 
State, having eleven lines of railroads radiating from it, mak- 
ing it within reach of any county in the State in four and one- 
half hours. It has fifty-seven passenger trains daily and sixty 
regular freight trains. In addition to the railroad facilities, 
it is reinforced by direct water connection with the ocean at 
Georgetown, S. C, having two boats plying regularly on the 
Congaree and Santee Rivers. A new steamboat company has 
been chartered with a capital of $150,000, which will soon oper- 
ate three steel boats and three steel barges, giving it unsur- 
passed river facilities. These boat lines decrease freight rate 
to and from all Eastern and coastal points thirty per cent., 
and during the year 1909 saved the merchants who patronized 
the boat line a little over $25,000 in freight. 

Columbia has six hospitals and infirmaries and is recog- 
nized as the medical and surgical center of the State. 

Columbia has unexcelled climate, the weather undergoing 
very little change in winter or summer, the average tempera- 
ture in winter being 47.2 and in summer 79.4, with an annual 
rainfall of 46.21 inches. Columbia is 350 feet above the sea 
level. It has an abundance of pure water, daily tests showing 
its purity to be never less than 99 per cent. 

Columbia has eighty-three miles of streets, none of them 
less than one hundred feet wide and several of them 150 
feet wide. Twelve miles of these streets are macadamized, 
which was done without bonded indebtedness. 

Columbia has unsurpassed educational advantages, and 
during the summer of 1910 $406,000 were expended on new 
school buildings and improvements in an educational line. 

The roads leading into Columbia are of famous sandclay 
type, properly constructed and maintained. 

Columbia is one of the few cities in the south having a 
commission form of government, which is working wonders 
for the city, and within six months' time has lifted a current 
indebtedness of about $90,000, beginning the new year unen- 
cumbered, save by its old bonded debt of $850,000. Bonds 
for this $850,000 have recently been sold at a premium of 
$30,000 and the bonds brought 104 — 30 years 4J per cent. 

Columbia has twelve hotels, the Colonia Hotel catering 
especially to tourists. 

Columbia has eight cotton mills, with a total capital of 
$5,562,900, with an annual product value of $5,000,000. 

Columbia has twenty-two miles of street railway, extending 
to every part of the city and suburbs, carrying 3,000,000 pas- 
sengers annually. Suburban extension is a policy of the com- 
pany. 

Columbia has eight sound, solid banks, the deposits of 
which have increased over 500 per cent, in ten years. 

With its geographical position, its railroad facilities, its 
water facilities, its health and the cimate, with hustling people, 
energetic and broad-minded. It is destined soon to become the 
leading jobbing, distributing and manufacturing center not 
only of the state, but of the South. 

Its people extend to new comers a warm welcome and a 
fostering care.

fruits and asparagus in season, grasses and hay in abund- 
ance. Two garages, well equipped to supply the needs of 
motorists. One mile from county seat is the famous healing 
springs (Antleys). 

ORANGEBURG, S. C, is located at the junction of three 
railroads, A. C. L., Southern and Seaboard (being constructed), 
and is the county seat of Orangeburg County, having a pop- 
ulation of 8,000. Has paved streets, municipally owned wa- 
terworks, electric lights and sewerage, six banks, two cotton 
factories and two fertilizer factories. A U. S. Government 
fish cultural station is being built here. Orangeburg is the 
location of Claflin University (colored) and the South Caro- 
lina State Colored College, also the Orangeburg College for 
whites. 

Orangeburg is located on the Edisto River, one of the 
prettiest streams in the State and a stream noted for its 
fine fish. This river is now being surveyed by the U. S. 
Government with a view of opening it for navigation. Orange- 
burg is within a short run of the famous Eutaw Springs, noted 
for their natural beauty and the scene of a famous battle 
during the Revolutionary War. Orangeburg was itself the 
scene of considerable fighting during the Revolution, the 
founding of the town dating many years previous to the 
war. Three first-class garages, carrying full equipment of 
all kinds for automobilists, are located at Orangeburg. 

SUMMERVILLE, S. C. The town of Summerville, S. C, 
Is rapidly becoming prominent as one of the most charming 
winter resorts of the South. Few places can offer more at- 
tractions to the traveling public than are found in this lovely 
pineland village. At an altitude of about sixty-five feet above 
the sea level and at a distance of twenty-two miles from 
the historic city of Charleston, fairly nestling in a forest 
of health-giving pines, lies this altogether 'unique little town, 
without its counterpart in any part of the world. 

The temperature during the winter months is generally 
mild and peculiarly free from cold blasts, the average maxi- 
mum and minimum temperature for sixteen years being 71.6 
degrees and 58.9 degrees, respectively. Owing to the sandy 
soil and undulating character of the land, the natural drain- 
age is most excellent, and this has been further improved 
by a system of drains extending in all directions throughout 
the town. The streets are noted for their cleanliness and good 
order at all times. The climate is remarkably dry when 
it is remembered that the ocean is within twenty-two miles. 
The maximum rainfall for nineteen years is 56.76 inches.

AUGUSTA, GA., is the home of Eli Whitney, the inventor 
of the cotton gin. The remains of the mill that he operated 
still stands and can be seen on the old Savannah road, a 
few miles from the city. The first machine for cleaning 
wool of burrs was invented here by John Schley and was 
operated at Belleville factory, a few miles from Augusta. 

Among the historic places to be visited is St. Paul's 
Episcopal Church, constructed on the site of Fort Cornwallis, 
of the American Revolution. The Meadow Garden, the colo- 
nial home of George Walton, a signer of the Declaration 
of Independence, is used as a museum by the Daughters of 
the American Revolution and contains many articles of 
colonial times. 

The State and county are noted for the finest of auto- 
mobile roads and for the excellence of their winter climate 
and resort hotels. 

MILLEN, GA., is the only town situated on the famous 
Ogeechee River. This river is one of the most beautiful in 
the South. It is filled with clear water and an abundance 
of fish of all kinds. 

IVIillen is historically important as being first of all 
Southern cities during the war to erect and maintain a 
home for Confederate soldiers, the Wayside Home, erected 
on Myer's Hill, having been built by the ladies of Millen in 
the early months of the war to take care of the sick and 
wounded soldiers, and this was continued until the home 
was burned by General Sherman. 

IVIillen is one of the largest cotton centers of Georgia. 
One of the largest cotton compresses of the State is located 
here.

DARIEN, GA., is situated on tine north branch of the 
Altamaha River, sixty miles from Savannah. The road from 
Savannah to Darien is the old State road and, except one 
or two places, is in fine condition. Population about 1,300. 
Industries, lumber rpanufacturing, shipping timber coast-wise 
and foreign, and hard wood factory, rice planting, etc. 

Topographical: Wide streets, umbrageous live oaks, high 
bluff, artesian water. 

Historical: Visited by Lord Rosebery; formerly the 
home of Mrs. Wister (mother of Owen Wister) and Mrs. 
Leigh, her sister, daughters of Pierce Butler; home of Gould- 
Ing, author of "Young Marooners" and "Marooners Island." 
Generals Island and Butlers Island lie between Darien and

the property of Mrs. Leigh and Wister. Oglethorpe Oak, 
under which he first rested on landing here, standing in 
Broad Street. 

Climate fine, hunters' paradise, fishing good, motor boats 
plentiful, beach only six miles down the river. 

BRUNSWICK, GA., is the cradle of history and develop- 
ment of the Empire State of the South, and to-day harbor 
improvements, factory buildings and new railway buildings 
prove that Brunswick Is about to realize her reward. 

The climate of Brunswick is ideal and winter tourists 
can not afford to miss a stop over. 

The finest shell roads in America lead to numerous points 
of historical interest familiar to students of our history from 
revolutionary times down to the present. 

As a health and summer resort, Brunswick and St. Simon's 
Island are unexcelled. 

Sydney Lanier has immortalized in verse the "Marshes of 
Glynn." The lagoons leading into Brunswick's land-locked 
harbor ramify through "The Marshes of Glynn," and the 
scenes that inspired Lanier unfold, in their simple beauty, 
to the tourists who avail themselves of motor boating about 
Brunswick.

THE FLORIDA HOTEL CO., Props. 



JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA— ten years ago the site of 
Jacksonville was a gigantic heap of ashes and smouldering 
ruins; today its stcy-line is broken by numerous buildings 
whose stories run into the 'teens, its residences are new and 
its people prosperous. Not a thing in Jacksonville is anti- 
quated or out of date — it is modern from center to suburbs, 
its streets are lined with dignified oaks, stately palmettos 
and spreading and blossoming magnolias. Its churches and 
schools are housed in splendid structures. 

There is historic interest about Jacksonville sufficient to 
occupy the mind for weeks. Old Fort Caroline is but a few 
miles down the river, and St. Augustine is 40 miles away — 
over a road built by the Spaniards of Ponce de Leon's time. 
It is the quaintest and oldest city in the United States. The 
beauties of the tropics have been lavished in the section 
about Jacksonville. The picturesque St. Johns River offers 
opportunities for pleasure trips that will never be forgotten.

VA/INCHESTER, VA. — historically Winchester is connected 
intimately with the Indian Wars, the Revolutionary War and 
the Civil War. At the north of the Main street still may be 
seen one of the bastions of Fort Loudoun, built by George 
Washington as a defense against the Indians. Winchester is 
said to have been taken and retaken seventy times by the 
armies of the South and North during the Civil War. The 
remnants of Star Fort and Milroy's Fort still may be seen, 
while thousands of Confederate and Union soldiers sleep in 
adjoining cemeteries. 

Sheridan's headquarters is on the corner of Piccadilly 
and Braddock Streets. On the corner of Braddock and Cork 
Streets may be seen the office building occupied by Washing- 
ton when he was a surveyor in this section. Lord Fairfax, 
proprietor of the Northern Neck of Virginia, is buried under 
Christ Episcopal Church on the corner of Water and Wash- 
ington Streets. 

Winchester is in the heart of the great fruit section of 
Virginia. From the orchards immediately around the town, 
nearly three hundred thousand dollars is now realized each 
year, while hundreds of acres are new growing trees that 
will soon come into bearing. Land that could have been pur- 
chased ten years ago for fifty dollars an acre, now sells for 
five hundred dollars per acre, when improved by an apple- 
bearing orchard. 

Winchester has a successful woolen mill, knitting mill 
and glove factory and several large wholesale houses. There 
is an active demand for labor. Fine macadam roads radiate 
from the town; and the development of the country is increas- 
ing the movement towards the improvement of these roads. 
The house in which William McKinley was made a freemason 
still stands in Winchester. 



About 15 miles after leaving Winchester, you will pass 
by Cedar Creek, a famous battleground during the Civil War, 
thence on through Strassburg to the battlefield of "Fisher's 
Hill," about 20 miles south of Winchester; then on to New 
Market, about 30 miles farthern down the Valley. The "Battle 
of New Market" was a famous engagement during the Civil 
War. 

At New Market you may branch off the Valley Pike for

STAUNTON, VIRGINIA, a city of 11,000 population, lies 
at the head of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, 
at the intersection of the B. & O. and C. & O. railways. It 
has fourteen passenger trains daily, which bring it within 
four hours of Washington and five hours of Norfolk. The 
coal fields of West Virginia are close at hand; and the city 
government and public utilities are in a high state of effi- 
ciency. 

The elevation is 1,500 feet, water pure, clear and cold, 
the climate proverbially healthful and educational facilities 
unsurpassed. With these advantages, and surrounded by 
wonderfully fertile agricultural, fruit-growing and cattle-rais- 
ing country (which earned for "The Valley" the title of "The 
Granary of the Confederacy"), it is but natural that Staunton 
is famed for the culture, thrift and prosperity of its people. 

The tourist, as well as the home-seeker and investor, 
finds many attractions in the "Queen City of the Valley." 
Gypsy Hill Park, the prettiest in the State, the numerous 
macadam roads, with their magnificent views radiating into 
the surrounding agricultural and orchard country, and the 
hospitality of the people, all combine to make Staunton the 
Mecca of the tourist. Visitors find a cordial welcome and 
much to interest them at the Mary Baldwin Seminary and 
Staurt Hall; The Staunton Military Academy and Dunsmore's 
Business College; The Virginia School for the Deaf and the 
Blind and The Western State Hospital, the two latter State 
institutions. They may also be interested in seeing the house 
where Woodrow Wilson was born.

LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, is the burial place of Generals 
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The remains of the 
former rest in the Lee Mausoleum at Washington and Lee 
University, and the latter in the Lexington Cemetery, over 
whose grave stands a heroic statue in bronze. Here are 
located the Virginia Military Institute and Washington and 
Lee University. General Lee was president of the University 
and General Jackson held a professorship in the Institute 
previous to the Civil War. 

General Lee's office remains as it was the last time he 
left it, with books, letters, and everything in the same posi- 
tion. In Rockbridge were born Sam Houston, the first presi- 
dent of the Republic of Texas; Cyrus H. McCormick, inventor 
of the McCormick reaper, and Bishop William Taylor of the 
Methodist Church, missionary to Africa. 

NATURAL BRIDGE, VA. (height 215 feet, width 100 feet, 
span 90 feet), is situated on a picturesque plateau in Rock- 
bridge County, in the southern part of the Shenandoah Val- 
ley, with grand mountain scenery on every hand. It over- 
looks the James River Valley, on the western slope of the 
Blue Ridge Mountains, and near the center of the State of 
Virginia. It ranks among the great wonders of the world, a 
single block of limestone, with many shades of color, wide 
enough to span Broadway and high enough to throw in 
shadow the turrets of Trinity Church. Under it "men look 
like boys, and trees like bushes." 

The visitor follows a tumbling cascade down a deep fis- 
sure in the mountain, under some of the largest arbor-vitae 
trees in the world, and turning down a line of steps cut in 
the precipice, suddenly finds himself by a swift stream in a 
dark canyon, and the great Bridge far above him. The Nat- 
ural Bridge Park is a plateau 1,500 feet above the sea, and 
comprises about 1,500 acres generously traversed by smooth, 
safe roads, together with numerous walks and bridle-paths. 

The Bridge connects two of the five round-top mountains 
that rise boldly from the great Valley of Virginia, near the 
confluence of the James and North rivers. These have been 
named Lebanon, Mars Hill, Mount Jefferson, Washington 
Heights, and Cave Mountains, and embrace in the park pri- 
vate roads, from which are seen a wonderful variety and ex- 
tent of mountain scenery. The James River is but two miles 
distant, and affords fine bass fishing and boating. 

Washington, when a surveyor for Lord Fairfax, visited it, 
and carved his name, where it may now be seen. During the 
Revolution, the French organized two expeditions to visit it; 
from their measurements and diagrams a picture was made 
in Paris, which for nearly half a century was copied in Europe 
and America. The place was much visited in the early part 
of last century. Marshall, Monroe, Clay, Benton, Jackson, 
Van Buren, Sam Houston, and others were registered here. 

The original bridge tract was granted by King George 
III to Thomas Jefferson in 1774. After he was President, he 
visited the place, surveyed it and made the map with his own 
hands. The next year he returned, bringing two slaves, Pat- 
rick Henry and wife. For them he built a log cabin with two 
rooms, and directed one to be kept open for the entertain- 
ment of strangers. Jefferson spoke of it as yet to be "a 
famous place, that will draw the attention of the world." 
Marshall wrote of it, "God's greatest miracle in stone." Clay 
wrote of "the Bridge not made with hands, that spans a river, 
carries a highway, and makes two mountains one."

A Voluntary Testimonial 
to the 

Pierce-Arrow 
Car 



"Our car was a 66 H. P. Pierce- 
Arrow, and we had one of the 
most dehghtful and satisfactory 
trips that could be imagined. 
We drove from San Francisco 
to Chicago, New York and 
Atlanta — 5,433 miles, in 54 days, 
including all stops. Our running 
time was 30 days, making an 
average of about 180 miles per 
day, in the desert, and through 
all sorts of weather conditions. 
Our shortest day's trip was 78 
miles, and the longest 296 miles. 
The same car has been driven 
31,000 miles — from Mexico to 
British Columbia, to Spokane, to 
the Yosemite, and from sea level 
to 10,000 feet altitude, and all 
over the Pacific coast, and is 
always reliable and ready for 
another trip." 

—From Mr. Thomas H.B. Var- 
ney's letter to the Touring 
Bureau of the A. A. A. describ- 
ing the transcontinental trip 
made by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas 
H. B. Varney, Mr. and Mrs. 
Walter T. Varney, Miss Maud 
E. Varney and John A. 
Kauj-cha.
